A Few Hard Facts

Folder: 
Invisible Poetry

.

Nice glowing verses

are nice to read and praise

as if critics are necessary

to determine how much

patronizing is required

to turn around a poet.

 

Premise #1. Poets subborn

critics and crunch on them like

treats late night. Premise #2.

Challenge a poet and they

will bring out the big guns:

prose.

 

That's enough premises.

Second principles are in order

but as a poet, I have verses

to corrupt with nonessential

thoughts born of too may

decades of seeing and not

doing anything about it.
